Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
OneTrust
- Complex usage-based pricing model with multiple meters (admin users, inventory size, daily visitors, data subjects) making total cost unpredictable
- No published pricing examples or per-unit costs; all pricing requires custom quotes
- Each solution area uses different pricing metrics, requiring complex calculations for multi-solution purchases
- Enterprise-only positioning (Fortune 500 focus) suggests premium pricing, discouraging mid-market or startup adoption
- Platform complexity and multiple solution areas may result in significant implementation and ongoing costs not disclosed upfront
Splunk Enterprise Security
- Splunk Enterprise Security is licensed separately from the Splunk platform, so a SIEM deployment needs both
- Splunk publishes no rate for Enterprise Security and directs buyers to contact a pricing expert
- UEBA, SOAR and automated threat analysis require the Premier edition rather than Essentials
- The platform underneath can be billed by ingest volume, workload or activity, so the total cost depends on a pricing model chosen at contract time rather than a list price
